being lowered from the top of the chimney
one OF them dropped of, and, falling dis
lance of about seventy feet, struck the man
on the side of the head, but, strange to say,
only slightly injured him. Had the brick
struck him squarey on the head it would
undoubtedly have killed him.

DisTINGUIsHED VISITORS AT tbs
WEST END

A party of New York capitalists all
more or less interested III the success
OF Superior and especially that part
OF the town known as the West End,
visited the place last week, and the
lnter-Oeean gives this pen picture Of
the item:
james Roosevelt, uncle of Theodore
Roosevelt of New York City, on this,
his first visit to Superior, made the
remark that he was surprised upon
coming II the Northwest, to dis
cover that Superior was SO mary miles
nearer the Minnesota, Dakota and
Nebraska markets than Chicago is.
Aud the local topography of Superior.
is water frontage, drainage, and gen.
erai adaptibility for RAILROAD yards,
manufactures and ship yards, he
thought, placed it away above and
beyond any other incipient American
city IN immediate probable growth.
Mr.. F. w Downer who is a
wealthy New York merchant, express
ed himself as surprised almost beyond
measure at the developments that
were sprung on him after leaving
Chicago. He took IN the lake
horizon from the top Of Daiuth's
Promethian rocks, and came back to
West Superior thoroughly subdaed on
the question Of natural advantages.
while he recognized that at present
Duluth has population and capital, he
thought the expense Of local improve
mems there We're SO out of proportion
to the comparatively nominal cost of
such things IN Superior, that there
would he but one conclusion, and that
was that Ia three or four years time
Superior would stand abreast of her
IN population and in wealth. Mr..
Downer represents a great deal of
money that IS open to Investment pur-
poses and will probably be the back
ground Of a company that will build
houses If ali kinds IN West Superior 10

both welEknown railroad men, whose
presence here simply indicates his
monied interest ia the place Mr..
Belknap has somewhat the appearance
Of and El,gIiShman, having q reddish
trown beard, ruddy complexion, full

ing gentleman, whose appearance and
manner would fit him for model for
some self-contained hero Of social fic-
ton. He is said to be an admirable
tinancier, and IS dignified but most
